Movie review: Unstoppable

Unstoppable, about a real-life one-legged wrestler-turned-NCAA-champion, stars Jennifer Lopez and Jharrel Jerome. Dancer-singer-turned-whatever Lopez took time out of her busy schedule to not suck here, thanks to brief onscreen appearances but also a believable performance as a vulnerable-yet-determined mother.

The film’s not just the perfect feel-good movie for Whites who long for a world where Blacks complained less. It also serves as a vehicle for Jerome (Moonlight, When They See Us) to show off the kind of range Michael B Jordan thinks he has.

Like a single man in his 40s who lives alone, the movie takes a while to pick up. It also isn’t reinventing the biopic wheel. But Jerome’s natural talent for underrated and visceral acting, besides the moving personal challenges depicted, make this movie worth one’s time.
